Trailing 8-5 headed into the final period of play, the Lords increased the pressure at the offensive end. After a Lords' defensive stand at the opposite end of the field, Harvey raced down and found his way through the Battling Bishops' defense. Harvey's goal, his third of the contest, drew the Lords to within two, 8-6, with 5:23 showing on the fourth-quarter clock.

With momentum clearly on its side, Kenyon junior Luke Larson (Mercer Island, WA/ Seattle Academy) found the back of the Battling Bishops' net at the 2:01 mark just seventeen seconds into a Lords' man-up advantage. The third-year Lords' goal, his second of the game and eighteenth of the season, shrank the OWU lead to 8-7.

Over the last two minutes, Kenyon had chances to tie the match, but were unable to score the equalizer, and fall to 6-2 overall, and 0-1 in the NCAC.
